THE NEW YORKER Conger, on the other hand, have a complete line of modest, efficient little bars set up on tea-wagons, butlers' trays, and the like. And at Gerard, 270 Park, they have a real Sicilian lemonade stand, tiny and compact, but holding ten tall glasses and two bottles in a hammered-brass top; $ 75, with a pair of metal lanterns hitched on the sides, a cash drawer, and a central han- dle for picking the whole thing up and carrying it around. In addition to the shops mentioned above, and all the big stores, with their departments full of things to help peo- ple dispense hospitality in the good old- fashioned way, the following places dote on equipment for fireside drinking: Lambert, Lexington A venue at 60; Pitt Petri, the Waldorf, Park Avenue at 50; Carol Stupell, the Barclay, Lex- ington Avenue at 49; and Russel \\1 right, 165 East 35. CHR.ISTMAS WR.APPINGS T HE trick of having your offerings look exciting on the outside is but nothing to manage, provided you real- ize that the secret lies in early shopping. The town is full, at the moment, of beautifu] papers and grand glimmering businesses to tie or stick on your bun- dIes; but wait until December 15, and then where will you be ? We like to think of you, dears, as wanting to do something startling. Like wrapping up a big package in layers of colored tissue lined with another color that shows here and there where the edges turn back; binding it with broad bands of tis- sue ribbon (Japan Paper Company, 109 East 31); and sprinkling the whole with Dennison's (220 Fifth A ven ue) gold or silver stars-things like that. Bulky, lumpy gifts can be set down in the middle of layers of tissue in a couple of colors, with the corners drawn up to the top and fluffed out above a band of ribbon tied in a bow. F or an extra fillip, paste tiny stars in the folds at the top. Stockings or gloves rolled up like a sausage in figured paper (Wanamaker's Paper Shop has dandy patterns) lined with contrasting tissue and tied tight about two inches in from each end, in the manner of kids' -party snappers with mottoes inside, are more fun than stock- ings or gloves laid neatly in flat boxes. Furthermore, the Decorative Plant Company, 230 Fifth Avenue, is a good place for sprigs and small wreaths of holly, pine cones, fir branches, and other bits of atmosphere to slip into the bowknots on your dressier packages.
